Kiwis are renowned for having a can-do attitude, which probably stems from being at the end of the world in a country the size of the UK yet with a population of just 5 million. We even have a description for it, […]

I was talking with Ben Ruegg the other day and realised I couldn’t think how long we had known each other and was somewhat in shock when he told me it was just two months. The reason I was that surprised is that s […]

A few months ago I was lucky enough to be in the studio with the wonderful Lee Martin, who was up in Auckland working with TeMatera Smith on her new album. She had of course brought with her Chris Ward, who plays […]

UK twosome NORTHERN KIND first appeared back in 2006, and on three albums released between 2007 and 2013 I understand they gained a bit of a following among people with a strong interest in music founded on 80’s […]

UK duo THE AUTUMN KILLERS were formed back in 2019, and following the initial EP “Dance Floor Mayhem” in 2020 the band concluded their recording activities with the second EP “Acoustic & Autumnised” towards the […]

When it comes to absolutely classic killer Alice Cooper there is no doubt that the most important period was when that was the name of the band and not just the person. The drummer on all those albums was of […]

There is no doubt that one of the most readable and enjoyable musical biographies released in the last 10 years has to be Young’s ‘Waging Heavy Peace’. In many ways it reminds me of Bill Bruford’s excelle […]

Young’s second album from 2014 could not have been more different to the first. Whereas that was fractured, this was far more of an aural and sonic extravaganza as here his ten new songs feature support from a 9 […]

This album is taken from Young’s 2015 tour with The Promise Of The Real, fronted by Lukas Nelson (vocals/guitar) and Micah Nelson (guitar, vocals) – Willie Nelson’s sons. Added to this were musical overdubs, as […]

This 2016 album features all new songs written by Young following on the from the release of ‘Earth’ and shows him back with a very different approach from ‘Storytone’ with a far more stripped approach. It was rec […]

This 2017 release, while being a brand-new album, was also a very old one in that this acoustic solo album was recorded in a single session in Malibu, CA at Indigo Studio in 1976. Chronologically this sits between […]

This 2020 release is one which has been sought after by fans for many years, as it was originally recorded between June 1974 and January 1975. ‘Homegrown’ was intended to come out in 1975 before Young can […]
